'Thrones' Enjoys Social Media Bump For Season Finale

TV's lazy summer season has arrived -- but not for those who use social media in connection with their favorite TV shows.

The next-to-last episode of the seasonfor HBO's "Game of Thrones" on Sunday night was helped out with the most social media activity, according to Trendrr.TV on Monday -- some 396,600 posts, grabbing a 25% share of all cable TV-related activity. Nielsen says the show had been averaging 4.4 million to 5.5 million viewers for its last eight episodes of season three.

Right behind this was NBC's "Women’s Concert for Change: Live from London," pulling in some 329,300 -- a 47 share among all broadcast shows. Nielsen says the concert pulled in nearly 3 million total TV viewers for its two-hour show on Sunday night.
